before I go to bed, I turn off my pc and turn off my router, modem still power on. In around 30min, I saw the Obi reset once, while I am on my bed.
It's not clear why you would turn off your router. This will kill the Ethernet connection and certainly prevent the OBi from making and receiving calls. Given the strange behavior of the OBi rebooting on Ethernet changes, I wouldn't read a lot into a reboot that occurs with the router turned off.
I've seen a couple of unexplained reboots with my OBi. Fortunately, they're extremely rare (although they should not be occurring at all).
I would recommend you never turn the modem and router off whenever you are expecting the OBi to be operating properly.

I have a UPS device which have master control feature.
When I turn on my computer, it would turn some some devices, like router.
when i turn off my computer, it would cut the power supply to those devices.
it's just saving the little energy.

It's not saving that much energy. Unless you have devices that were spectacularly poorly designed, you'd never notice the difference. Appliances with motors in them (including most major appliances, air conditioners, furnaces, water pumps, etc.) can use more electricity in a few minutes of operation than the devices you're shutting down will use in a month.
BUT, if you are such a tightwad that you simply must power down your router, then you might as well power down your cable or DSL modem and your OBi device at the same time. Without the router being on, it won't do you any good for those other devices to be on. And I have observed that when an Obihai device loses its network connection for a period of time (as would happen if you shut off the router), it sometimes will not resume normal operation until the network connection is restored AND the device is power-cycled (remove the power, wait a few seconds, plug it in again).
Seriously, you should not be turning off your router at night unless you are also powering down everything it is connected to — otherwise you are practicing false economy. Most folks that use any form of VoIP leave their cable or DSL modem, their router, and their VoIP adapter(s) powered up 24/7. Also, constantly power-cycling devices that are meant to stay on could cause them to fail earlier than they normally would (again that would be poor design, but it happens).
